Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to take the opportunity today to thank all the Pages that have been working with us this week. I was very happy to have two Pages from Fort Providence. Bradley Thom and Joseph Antoine have been working here very hard for us and seeing the sights of Yellowknife. They are both from the Deh Gah School in Fort Providence, my home town. They are both 13 years old, Mr. Speaker, and they keep very busy while in the community.
Bradley has just returned from a cultural camp. He has done a bit of hunting and learning some aboriginal and cultural skills. He certainly indicates he likes having to spend time in the bush. His career goal is to work towards becoming a marine biologist, Mr. Speaker. He has indicated that he has been here a couple of times before. He has enjoyed it. He has come to find out a little more about the Legislative Assembly. His family had some history in the political field. His grandfather was a chief of Fort Providence and also the mayor. His aunt, Tina Gargan, was also a mayor very recently in Fort Providence.
Joseph is also from the same school. He just returned from Fort Smith, where his mother was attending Aurora College. He was very interested and had never been to the Legislative Assembly. He wanted to check it out, he said, Mr. Speaker. He is a very avid hockey player. He plays hockey in Fort Providence, but the ice is not ready yet so he has been travelling all the way to Hay River to get some ice time and play hockey in that community, Mr. Speaker. His goal is to be an NHL hockey player. He is working very hard at it.
They both indicated that they want to witness the torch relay today and hoping we are not going to work too late.

They are driving home tomorrow, so I want to wish them all safe travel, and everyone else who is travelling tomorrow and today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
